D.C. Mun. Regs. r. 15-605
Any interested party may challenge a Registration Application by filing a written complaint with the Commission within forty-five (45) days of the date that notice of the Registration Application is served pursuant to § 604.8.
The Commission Secretary shall, within five (5) days, serve a copy of the complaint on OPC and the PSP seeking to register the pay telephone. The procedures in §§ 323 through 326 shall apply to complaints regarding complaints filed under this section.
The Commission shall not approve a Registration Application if the Commission finds, pursuant to § 614, that the pay telephone would constitute a public nuisance or significantly contribute to criminal activity in the surrounding community.
For a period of five (5) years, the Commission shall not approve a Registration Application for any pay telephone that is proposed to be located within a one (1) block radius of another pay telephone location against which a complaint is pending. When the Commission has ordered the removal of a pay telephone because the pay telephone has been found by the Commission, or its designee, to have constituted a public nuisance or significantly contributed to criminal activity in the surrounding community, the Commission shall not approve a Registration Application for any pay telephone that is proposed to be located within a one (1) block radius of the location of the removed pay telephone.
The Commission shall not approve a Registration Application until all of the PSP's existing pay telephones are in compliance with the provisions of § 609, entitled Pay Telephone Services.
If no opposition to the Registration Application is received within the time period set forth in § 605.1, and if the installation of the pay telephone is not otherwise barred under § 605.4, the application shall be approved.
Notwithstanding any other provision of these rules, the Commission, in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the District of Columbia, may reject any request for registration of a pay telephone, or may approve any registration subject to conditions imposed on the operation of the instrument.
